A minor fault in the bathroom was rectified very quickly and efficiently, which gives us confidence that should anything go wrong on a subsequent visit the response would be similarly good. Some instructions on how to operate the TV would have been useful, as everything seemed to be internet based rather than through an antenna. Definitely considering another visit.

Great that there were so many kitchen utensils. Gorgeous peaceful garden with plenty of seating. Would definitely book this property again. There are no grocery shops in walking distance of the property so a small amount of milk, tea bags and coffee (maybe just sachets even) would have been a nice welcome after a long journey.

The house was really clean on arrival and was well kitted out. The children loved discovering the kids books. We hope to come back again!
